I haven't had that happen at a quilt shop but I did have it happen at a large antique/vintage shop.
The shop was the type where people would rent an area and put up their antiques or vintage items to sell in their own cubicle/area. Each item had the seller's account # on a tag so the store was able to credit the correct seller's account when you had picked out the items you wanted to buy.
This was a large store and it had high shelving so it was very difficult to see from one aisle to another aisle. As I went down the aisle, I would stop at every little knook and cranny to look at things. After awhile, I realized that the person behind me would stop when I stopped and move when I moved. I then realized they work for the store and they were trying to not look obvious to what they were doing.
It didn't bother me at first. If they wanted to waste their time, that was their problem...but after awhile, I became annoyed. So, after taking over 35 minutes to go down just one aisle, I came to the end of the aisle....stopped...(smiling inside) turned around and said..."oh" (as if I forgot something) and I walked past the person who was following me...and I went all of the way down to the beginning of the same aisle to look at things again..... (the person who was following me just stood stunned at the end of the aise where I had just left and they didn't know how to come back down the aisle to follow me again). I looked at them and laughed to myself. They finally turned and walked away. I went to another aisle to look at more things.
:lol:
Funny, they never tried to follow me again.
